Nothing like a physics lesson before dinner! Thanks for the lengthy reply, it does make sense. So if not for efficiency, a gearbox could increase top speed to whatever the car is truly capable of. That makes sense to me, and a low first gear could do wonders for off roaders and gratuitous tyre smokers, I just wanted…

That leaves the Japanese and the two frontrunners are Mazda and Suzuki. Given Mitsubishi's partnership with Nissan Renault and Suzuki's work with Toyota it seems like Mazda is the obvious choice. Will they go with the obvious choice? There are too many factors to say for sure, but it does add interesting context to…

I'm pretty sure she wasn't paying attention to her PSI level is why is crashed.

If it is a PSA they should add that IF you are going to film your kids while driving to do it in landscape mode.

Hydrogen?

Thank god, our long national archive debate nightmare is finally over.

Reminded me of PJ O'Rourke on pickups.

Yup, a more succinct one with less BS. Something like "First of all, I'm an idiot. Yeah, I thought I was clear and stomped on it, countersteered too little and launched the fuc*er. Oops. Really glad I didn't kill someone and I learned my lesson. Sorry I acted like a know-it-all asshat. I won't do it again."

Right. IT SAYS RIGHT!!!

A neighbor just mentioned that a couple of days ago. She was reminiscing about the days of a black & white TV with one station and asked me, "Didn't you have (hums the Star Spangled Banner) play at the end of the night too?" I replied that it was unlikely, since (as she knew) I grew up in Australia.

The Trans Am knows that so long as the Camry remains efficient and reliable, money can be better spent on parts for it, and repair time to get it back on the road someday.

I stopped reading after the first paragraph when he suggested that the car violently snapped for seemingly no reason. Edit: Went back to read the rest and then stopped again when he attempted to define opposite lock and full opposite lock as two different things.

And there it is. Let that superiority flow through you. With each passing moment you make yourself more Munich's servant.

yeah..yup.. tire pressure was a factor in this for sure... Definitely not intentionally turning off DSC and stabbing the throttle in front a crowd. Nope, not that. /s

Several times back when I was maybe 17-18? Minor offs similar to this, but always on a country road, not in a built up area. But despite my protestations as the dust was settling it was entirely driver error and I realised that when I calmed down (and my mates called me a cock - quite rightly). I didn't make up some…

Oh, yeah... he owned it:

Yeah, it looked in the video like the classic tire pressure 1.5 psi off complete loss of control drift.

Yeeeeeah,

Yep. Totally. The tire pressures caused this.
